38. Top Games 2021 April 2022

    GAMES! Wow, I posted this late.I did not play as many new games last year as I normally do. Most of my time went to Final Fantasy XIV...

39. Top Games 2020 February 2021

    Wow, what a year. Looking back, I didn't play too many new games, or at least games that stood out to me as my game of the year. I played Among Us and Fall Guys and while they were good, they were not my best. Heck, I could add Hades again to my top games.

    Not sure why but this article is taking me forever to write, all the way until February. Here's to writing more in the new year.

    Anyways, here are my top games I played last year.

    My favorite development saying and design principle.

    

42. Using Git with Game Development January 2019

    Source control can be daunting but it is pretty important for sharing with others and backing up to prevent data loss. I will cover installing git on a windows environment, using online repositories (repos) and getting a Unity game setup with git.

43. Top 5 Games 2018 December 2018

    My top games this year. Not necessarily when they were released but when I played them. This list is not exactly 5 games anyways. I don't think I played many of the super popular games this year, at least I'm not remembering them. What even came out this year?

    I listen to a lot of music and game soundtracks so my rankings will also include how often I listen to the soundtracks.

44. Getting Started With Game Development September 2018

45. Hello World September 2018

    Hello! I'm Judah and I'm trying out something new for my blog.

    I do a lot of software development. Lots. I do asp.net development for my day job and video game development with Unity3d in the evenings. I'm not sure how much I'll be writing blogs here, but I'll see. I have some ideas.
